Carrie Underwood will star in an exclusive new HBO Max Christmas special which will premiere this holiday season. She will appear on the new concert special with a live orchestra and choir and perform a mix of both traditional favorites and new original material from her first ever full-length Christmas album, My Gift, which is out tomorrow (Sept. 25). The holiday event is set to shoot this fall.

“Carrie Underwood is a multi-faceted talent and we are thrilled to be partnering with her and our friends at Playtone to bring a dose of holiday cheer,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max.

“The journey of writing and recording this album started last year when I finished my tour and we could have never anticipated the circumstances we would be in this year,” said Underwood. “Creating this album has been good for my heart, and I’m thrilled to get to share it with the world and to bring it to life with Playtone and HBO Max.”
The Max Original special will be executive produced by Gary Goetzman and Tom Hanks for Playtone, along with Underwood and her manager, Ann Edelblute.
